Yes, I've been absent. I've been lurking, but I've just not had much to say, and I still don't actually, but I felt that I should say something. I worked 47 damn hours last week at a job that literally is making me sick. Well, the stress of the job coupled with the 25 pounds I've gained seemingly overnight are combining to make me ill, but still.
Yep, that's right. I went from my vegetarian fighting weight of 170 to a whopping 198 at my dr's appointment on Thursday. What the fuck happened there? I mean, yeah, I knew that the meat I was eating and the lack of any real fitness program wasn't really great for the health, but 28 frickin' punds?!? So, I'm dieting and attempting to work out more often. Neither going real well. I have cut soda out of my diet(which, considering I drank 8 to 12 a day, is kind of huge for me) but I'm having a problem staying away from fattening foods.
Tonight I was good though. A bottle of water and a platter of fresh fruit for dinner. Let's hope I can keep it up and that this continues to make me a svelte Tanner. This gut is something I am not fond of.

DUDE! that is AWESOME! i am really impressed! you have done a great thing for yourself.
my suggestion for staying away from the fatty foods sounds like i stole it from a women's magazine (which i probably subconciously did) but it works for me: fill up on healthy foods! ta-da!
i always have one piece of fresh fruit (apple, banana, or blueberries), one granola bar, and one yogurt at work to turn to in the event that i get hungry. grilled meat is not all that bad. the merc has those tasty salmon fillets in the back, at their deli. anything fried or creamy is what will really get you. including ranch dressing. always use fat free dressing, or as close as you can get to it, because 2 tablespoons of regular salad dressing have half your daily recommended allowance of fat. ewwww! i also recommend popping your own popcorn in olive oil and then just sprinkling salt on it. the olive oil makes it taste good, and you end up not needing the butter.
you can do it! the trick is to keep eating, just eat healthy.
